Great service and keen pricing at the London branch from Tim and his staff Tom

Purple Extreme with price tag to match!

Flecc, is this really the best you can come up with? I was looking for some evidence of successful prosecutions based on the EU-compliant EAPCs and you provide the tale of the Met police acting politically at the behest of a grouping of MPs helping out the licensed Hackney Carriage...

You do that all the time Flecc; choosing selected snippets of facts interspersed with anecdotal tales of prosecutions that never concluded with convictions then arguing black is white as if you know more about EAPCs and the law than anybody else. How about producing some real evidence to...

It seems to me that a number of forum members choose to live in denial as far as Europe and European law is concerned. Stating that the only law which applies to EAPCs is the UK one, under which thousands could be prosecuted for using motors of 250w rather than 200w is just pedantry. That...

I wasn't specifically referring to your input Flecc but since you have chosen to respond in such a way that the position is no clearer to me than before, I will say this: As the UK is fully signed up and committed to Europe-wide common legislation and all my EAPCs conform substantively to...

I never realised there were quite so many lawyers in this forum! If I were to believe some of the received knowledge I have gleaned from this collective of lawyers, then, were I the minister responsible for the Department for Transport, I would have no hesitation in proscribing all EAPCs...

The sooner the authorities start clamping down on the criminal element who ride illegal bikes the better. There is no, absolutely never, any excuse for breaking very reasonable laws. Tom

So many lawyers! Tom

Sell bike; buy light motorcycle/scooter and get a gym membership. Tom

So, I take it then we can safely say that a motorcycle is quicker for your commute. The original premise, I thought, was: Test of pedelec vs road bike for long commute Of course, now that you have established that if electrical assistance is adapted to provide propulsion beyond the legal limit...

:(:( I think I've seen the bike to which you refer on Gumtrees and I think you'd really like it EXCEPT FOR......it comes with a BionX electrical set-up for the power assistance. Don't get me wrong, the BionX kit is powerful and I test-rode the Gents' model about 3-4 years ago when a local...

There are many differences between electric-assist bikes but before you get carried away by any advertising, forum advice or any other reason, there are certain fundamentals you need to understand. 1) Before any other consideration, set a maximum budget. I say that because it's easy to simply...

All leisure cyclists should look upon Sheldon's work as their bible. I can't speak for the serious, sporting disciplines but commuters and casual cyclists won't go far wrong following the advice on the website bearing his name. Tom

While I wouldn't use a head torch for cycling, I do think they are very useful, hands-free light sources for lots of other purposes. Aldi have some 3w Cree LED stock coming in on the 24th and those have changeable mode function and a red light at the back! £7.99. Tom

A friend and I decided to take an organized trip to Afghanistan to see for ourselves what the place is like. It didn't start well when the train we were travelling on broke down just on the north side of the capital. What a third world dump! Streets full of angry bearded types glaring at us and...

Without meaning to sound patronising, I'd call that an intelligent and well-thought 'state of the nation' article with regard to British cycling today. Tom

Abolutely! It astonishes me at times when I see people riding bikes with saddle heights so low that they cannot pedal properly. Usually, such people claim they like to be able to put their feet on the ground while remaining seated. When people go from childhood to adulthood, never having...

Inevitable perhaps? http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/blogs-news-from-elsewhere-28867150 Tom

I hope you're not mistaking that for an oncoming train! Tom
